In this way, Havenlight spent two turbulent days in the midst of the blockade.

The huge barrier was opened twenty-four hours a day, and there were priests and paladins patrolling everywhere, and the kingdom army everywhere had almost turned the place upside down. Unfortunately, in the end, no one could find the king, and he and the mage who had kidnapped him seemed to have evaporated from this world.

There has obviously been a lot of discussion about this outcome, but so far, the church has not given an answer that can appease the people. Pope Grant, who said that he wanted to feel the will of God, still did not appear.

What the hell is the Pope doing? Why doesn't he come out and do something when something so big happens? Everyone was in this confusion, but the church was silent.

And in some remote street in the outer city......

"Y-You're the child of the Rissers?"

In the bedroom of a family, the king sat up from his bed. He looked at Benjamin's face with a look of confusion and confusion.

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's me. Benjamin smiled and nodded.

"......What are you going to do? Why am I here?" After a moment's pause, the king's appearance suddenly became panicked, and he subconsciously retreated, his eyes revealing an extremely obvious fear.

"Have you forgotten that the church imprisoned you in the basement on the grounds that you had fallen under witchcraft?" said Benjamin, with a look of concern, "I broke into St. Peter's Basilica alone and rescued you. ”

When the king heard this, he hesitated: "You...... Why save me?"

"Because the enemy of the enemy is the friend, and we all have the same enemy—the church. Benjamin said, "Have you forgotten how those priests rode on everyone's heads, with high-sounding reasons, and stole little by little the power that should have belonged to you?" ”

"You ......"

The king's eyes narrowed, still looking a little confused. He still didn't know the situation, but he didn't know how, and he had an intuition in his heart that made him feel that the person in front of him was worth believing.

At the same time, some bad sentiments about the church kept coming up. The grievances of being locked up in the basement, the arrogant attitude of the new pope, and the unbearable memories of seeing his mother being "humiliated" by the previous pope in his childhood...... He was already accustomed to living in the shadow of the church, insensitive and ignorant, and even willingly defended the church in turn, not allowing others to say a bad word about it.

But...... But all those feelings of dissatisfaction came out at this moment.

He actually felt that what the mage said made sense.

"Your Majesty, don't you want revenge?" Benjamin continued to persuade while the iron was hot, "Pull the church off the horse, return yourself to the pinnacle of power, and let those priests understand what royal dignity is." ”

"I ...... The church is too strong for anyone to support my ......."

"The Church is not as powerful as it seems, at least, and now all the nobles have fallen to our side. Benjamin said slowly, "Actually, I was able to rescue you without any problems, thanks to their help. ”

When the king heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Benjamin smiled, "Your Majesty, as long as you listen to my arrangement, it will all go as smoothly as eating and drinking." ”

The king took a deep breath.

If it were a normal day, he would never believe such a ridiculous statement, especially if it came from the mouth of a mage. But at this moment, he felt that the mage in front of him was more trustworthy than any priest.

So, the devil sent the god to the ground, and he nodded.

Benjamin also looked satisfied.

"Then Your Majesty, please wait here for a few days. Now there are searching troops everywhere outside, don't move around randomly, soon we will leave from here. ”

After saying that, he turned around, left the bedroom with his two siblings, and closed the door. Outside the bedroom door, he gave the two of them a thumbs up and gave them an approving look.

"You're doing a great job. ”

The two siblings smiled proudly.

The spiritual imprint left by the overseas sect in the king's mind is so deep that they can not only forcibly control it, but they can also really change the king's mind through suggestion. And this means is the most foolproof.

- The king doesn't even realize that he's a telekinetic influence.

And Benjamin was able to really control him, and even if the spiritual imprint was removed, even if the two siblings were not around to control, the king would still listen to him and would no longer obey the church.

It's time to move on to the next step.

So Benjamin left his two siblings in the house to protect the king, and he walked out of the house.

In the streets, there were no fewer soldiers patrolling around than before, but with the use of the water element sensing method, he could smoothly bypass all the eyes and ears, like an inconspicuous ordinary citizen, going around and around, and finally, came to a casino in the north of the city.

"This is it. ”

He walked into the casino and handed a badge to the waiter at the door. A few minutes later, the casino owner hurriedly walked over and led him to the most private box in the casino.

In the box, there was Duke Colin who was waiting anxiously.

"Lord Dean, you've finally appeared!" As soon as he saw Benjamin, he immediately greeted him, smiled warmly, and pulled Benjamin's hand and refused to let go.

"I'm sorry, the situation in the royal capital has been too complicated these days, and I didn't find a chance to contact you until today. Benjamin also smiled, shook hands with the other party, and then took a few steps back, saying meaningfully, "It's a pity...... If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people from the church at that time, as if there were ghosts, I am afraid that I would have escaped from Havenley with His Majesty a long time ago. ”

When Duke Colin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became a little stiff.

“...... Is there an inner ghost?"

"Yes, otherwise, it would be impossible for more than a dozen bishops to appear together and rush directly towards me. Benjamin observed the other party's expression and said, "Someone must have leaked the news of this operation in advance to make the church prepared." ”

However, hearing this, Duke Colin suddenly lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

Benjamin frowned.

“...... Lord Duke?"

"It's my fault. Duke Colin looked up with a look of regret, "I'm sorry, Dean Benjamin, but the church was indeed aware of your actions before. ”

Benjamin felt that this reaction didn't seem right, but still asked, "How do they know?"

But the Duke of Colin said, "I told them." ”

Benjamin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It's not that he hadn't thought of this possibility, it's just that ...... Benjamin had confirmed that there was no ambush in this place, let alone spies from the Church, and it was only a matter of moments before he wanted to kill Duke Colin.

There's weirdness in that.

"Why?" he thought, his tone becoming less friendly, "I need an explanation. ”

Duke Colin sighed again and said, "Because ...... This is the only way to save His Majesty. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty is locked up in the basement of the cathedral, and if the church does not show its flaws, it will never be rescued. "But how can the church be flawed, and if they wish, the cathedral can be made impregnable, and no one can enter it, unless they ...... Unless there are other factors that make them willing to show their flaws. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he let out a cold snort and said, "Are you talking about me?"

Duke Colin immediately nodded: "It's you, Lord Dean!" The people of the church want to kill you so much that they are even willing to use His Majesty as bait to expose their flaws and bring you in. But correspondingly, this is the only way we can save His Majesty!"

"That'...... Aren't you using me as bait?"

"Of course it's different. Duke Colin smiled and said, "There is no doubt about the ability of the dean, no matter how many traps the church sets, it will not be possible to keep you - this is a well-known thing, only the church itself does not believe in evil, and has to pay for everything!"

However, even if he was slapped with a series of sycophants, Benjamin was just as happy, but said with a cold face: "If that's the case, you should tell me these details before the matter starts." ”

"Why bother?" said Duke Colin, "didn't Your Excellency leave the Cathedral unharmed and rescued Your Majesty?" Lord Abbot only needs to know that we are on your side, and that revealing the news to the Church is only part of the plan. ”
